Psalm 103: 1 Bless the Lord, O my soul,
and all that is within me,bless his holy name!
2 Bless the Lord, O my soul,
and forget not all his benefits,
3 who forgives all your iniquity,
who heals all your diseases,
4 who redeems your life from the pit,
who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy,
5 who satisfies you with good
so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.
Psalm 103 is one of the best-known psalms, used often in calls to worship and at funerals, and for good reason. It expresses the satisfaction of soul that can only be found when God's forgiveness has been received. The key is found in the next phrase: the Lord works righteousness. He has done all the work. He looked down on us in our spiritual weakness, knowing that we are not all powerful like He is, and reached out to offer us forgiveness. As a result, the psalmist has a sense of being right with God, loved by Him, and satisfied with the relationship he has with Him. He ends by calling all others to Bless the Lord with Him. May we bless the Lord together today.
